Hello All,
I'm having a problem with my pc.
-Mainboard - Generic(intel chipset)
-3 hdd's
-224 MB RAM
-Quite a few PCI cards
The box has worked flawlessly up until a couple of days ago, when i installed a video card and a sound card at the same time. After installing, the pc wouldn't boot(ACPI blue screen). After some trouble-shooting i determined that the sound card was causing problems...so i returned it and bought another, higher-end sound card...which also didnt work. So i scrapped the sound card idea all together.
Heres the problem:
Since then, the pc DID boot, but VERY slowly and would not always shut-down. It was getting worse and worse until yesterday i got a blue screen that i've never seen before and now it wont boot at all. It said "Unknown Hard Error" and thats it.
I have no idea what this is, and any help would be very appreciated. Please respond with any possible ideas-of-cause, solutions or request for further info.
thank you,
hefe
